Saudi Arabia intercepts missiles launched at Aramco facilities

Yemen’s Houthis fired two ballistic missiles at a Saudi Aramco facility in the southern city of Jazan on Monday, but the rockets were destroyed, according to Saudi state media. The Houthis’ al-Masirah TV said they had targeted a port belonging to the Saudi state oil giant. There were no reports of damage or casualties, and no immediate comment from Aramco, Reuters said.

On April 11, Saudi Arabia said its air defense forces intercepted three ballistic missiles fired at Riyadh and other cities by Yemen’s Houthis, who have stepped up attacks recently. The Houthis then claimed to have targeted the Defense Ministry in Riyadh and a Saudi Aramco distribution facility in Najran.
